| - | You can also choose to use a **Raspberry Pi Zero** which will save you some $15 from the total price, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll be using the **Raspberry Pi 3 Model B** on this tutorial. I've only tested these two Raspberry Pi's, but I see no reason why Virtual Modem wouldn't work with other Raspberry Pi models. | + | You may use a **Raspberry Pi Zero W** which will save you some $30 from the total price, but for the sake of user-friendliness, we'll be sticking with the **Raspberry Pi 3 Model B** on this tutorial. I've only tested these two Raspberry Pi's, but I see no reason why Virtual Modem wouldn't work with other Raspberry Pi models. It might even work on other platforms and architectures, but I cannot offer support on these. If you are having trouble getting the script to work, try to strictly adhere to the parts list above and see if it works then. Feel free to report your discoveries at our Discord channel (link below). |

| - | Two types adapters compared. Top one is a Prolific adapter, with a Null-Modem adapter attached, and the bottom one is a "CH 340" USB-to-Serial adapter. This is only indicative. USB-to-Serial adapters come in all shapes and sizes. If you're buying a Prolific adapter from eBay, make sure the item description specifically says it's a Prolific adapter. That way you'll have buyer protection in case the adapter is something else. | + | Two types adapters compared.
